5 Things not to do if you want to save money

Here is a list of a few things to avoid if you are trying to save up some money:

  1. Do not get a DUI.  It will end up costing you thousands at the very best.  It will also cost you your license, and even worse, could cost peoples’ lives.
  2. Drop Starbucks.  Get a coffee machine and brew your own cup of joe.  If you like the fancy drinks, buy an espresso machine and be your own barista.
  3. Don’t blow your wallet at the bars.  You can easily rack up a few hundred in a night of drinking.  By being a little thrifty, that same night can cost you under twenty bucks.
  4. Don’t leave the lights on.  Turn your computer, lights, TV and everything off when you are not using them.  You can really save a big by not wasting electricity.
  5. Don’t leave your wallet on empty.  Always carry cash around in case you need to buy something at a place that either doesn’t accept cards or charges you extra for using your card.  One example I have seen in recent times is gas stations.  Seems like gas is a good 10% more expensive if you want to use your card.  Having cash on hand can save you a few bucks at the pump.
